That's pretty stupid and won't really help. But you are free to try.
Try it for a week and after you see no results (besides the obvious loss from walking with an empty stomach) you'll realize it's not worth it. The body adapts a lot, it'll probably adapt to your stupidity and will give you headaches instead of actually losing weight.

What a dumb post. Some greens, proteins, and twenty minutes of walking a day would suffice. If you don't want to make an effort, don't go through the trouble of starving yourself and eat whatchu want.

A fruit, like an apple is filling. Multivitamins are a total waste of money.
A great salad:
Chopped broccoli
chopped carrots
chopped red pepper
half an apple chopped
cole slaw chopped
raisins
nuts
little olive oil and vinegar as a dressing.
This is exactly what happens.
I'm not being arbitrary. This is a rapid fat loss diet, and it cuts out all non-essential food. You don't need carbs to live, so there aren't any. You're in ketosis during this diet. Carrots and fruits are carbs, and not needed. Nuts are mostly unsaturated fat, and not needed. Cut them. We want:
1. Protein
2. Polyunsaturated fats (omega 3s)
3. Non-calorie food, like leafy greens (nutrients and fibrous bulk)
4. A just-in-case nutrient dose to keep you from getting malnourished (vitamin)
This is NOT a healthy diet, nor is it a long term one. It's for people who want to lose fat extremely quickly in a short burst. It works, but it's hard on you and hard on your metabolism. I recommend that everyone use a more sustainable diet, but if you want to be intense like the OP and try to crash diet then this is how to do it.

Ketosis is never, ever recommended unless is certain circumstance .ie you are prone to seizures
It's a stupid diet.
Psychological speaking, those always fail. It's like any fad diet with a high rebound rate.

If it all fails and I give up, I promise to post here so you can all see, don't worry.
And I appreciate the advice and may change things around to incorporate your advice. Thanks for the help.

That BMI stuff is crap. My ideal weight is at 210. At 210, I am thin and very normal in terms of weight and extremely healthy. Yet the BMI says I would overweight at 27.7...
Heck, even at 230, I barely have a gut. It will be gone by 220, and 210 I will be very very in shape.

Honestly dude, just do a low carb diet and walk a little bit each day. Losing weight is not THAT hard unless you have an actual condition.
Okay, keto diets are fine. You can be keto your whole life and be okay. It's not optimal if you're an athlete, but it's fine. The Inuit were all in keto for thousands of years and they did great. I don't prefer it personally and think it does have some downsides, but it's a perfectly good way to eat both temporarily and permanently.
The point of this diet isn't to be in keto though, it's to cut out all non-essential calories. Carbs are non-essential calories.
I didn't make this up, though it's not rocket science. Read Lyle MacDonald.
PS saw the edit: keto diets have higher adherence than standard calorie cutting.
I lost ten Lbs this month (155-145) and I'm 6ft I just went on a strict diet and hit the gym, you wouldn't have to try half as hard to get the same results man. Just count your cals and then set a weight/time goal and use the help of MyFitnessPal to help. Stick to it and you'll get your results.
Little steps man. Cut the soda, move entirely to water. Too much too soon? That's fine. Drink unsweetened tea in order to still have that caffeine fix but also reduce the sugar.
Reduce size of portions. Eat fast food less, and if cooking takes time, then each time when you cook try to cook for multiple meals at the same time. Like a beef+vegetable stew or something that you can consume throughout the week. Go on a short walk everyday and listen to podcasts/music.
You'll start noticing a difference over time. It doesn't have to be so drastic.

I've never heard of any doctor or dietitian using the keto diet, in fact the biggest researchers John Hopkins, uses a modified version of keto because it is not beneficial to adults and don't require a hospital stay but they do get regular blood work.
Keo has a strenuous connection with helping diabetics but the authors have said that more research needs to be done. Especially with regulating meds
The GI spike is normative, but with diabetes , pancreatic diseases and other endocrine diseases, it can mess you up.

This is sensible and will work in the long run instead of these fads.
Just go to a dietitian. Get that all sorted out and personalized.
I am eating 600 calories 2 days a week (usually) Monday and Friday or Thursday and eating like normal the other 5 days a week but mostly eating whole foods and reduced grain based carbs. I eat fun foods on the weekend.
something like this would be much more sustainable and healthy then what you are proposing. I haven't been working out consistently but have more energy and virtually no headaches compared to when I was not intermittently fasting. I have done a couple of 36 hr wet fasts during the time as well. Very interesting experience and achieved quite a natural high. Breaking a fast after that by eating some of your favorite foods is AMAZING.
Been doing this since January after watching a BBC Horizons episode on fasting/ IF

Keto-diet, as in low-car/high protein? I never had any issues with the Atkins diet before. Done it 3 times, all with great results. Though not what I'm doing now, now I'm just doing low-calorie.
If your curious why I've done it multiple times, I work full time at a desk job on a computer (programming). So unlike my time in college, I don't get much exercise walking around. (other then actually exercising of course, I love to run)

You'll probably give up in 3 hours.
What do you eat usually?
I almost look like a Holocaust survivor and eat 2-3 meals a day plus snacks.

Seriously dude, don't start at starvation and try and improve your plan from there. A room covered in shit with nice furniture is still a room covered in shit.
I can't imagine this is very healthy.
My uncle had cancer and during the course of his treatment the radiation therapy somehow 'burned' his esophagus. He was unable to eat sufficient amounts of food, but he also refused to get a feeding tube.
Eventually the lack of nutrition killed him as his organs failed one by one.

OP, the way you're describing is the fastest way to land you in a hospital. Cut out the smoking, fast food, and sodas. You will be dropping weight easily for a while. Hit up the Fitness OT thread in the community section.

keto/ultra low carb is extremely easy to follow and if you are more than just a few pounds overweight and it is very effective provided that you actually eat vegetables with your fat/protein. Do that and some interval training cardio or (even better, but more intimidating for a lot of people) strength training for a couple of months. It's very sustainable and if you shouldn't really have to count calories after about a week or so (once you understand what stuff has which calories, etc.)
It makes it super easy to transition out of keto to something actually sustainable later once you are happy with your weight, where you add a mild amount of fruit and clean starches and if you work out you can eat whatever (though you might not want to -cutting grains for me was a digestive revelation) once a week and it's not going to be a big deal.

Before I start, yes it's a bad idea. I get that.
I currently weigh 220lbs. The easiest and best way for my to lose this weight would be simply to diet and exercise. I'm not doing that. I'm going to simply stop eating.
Most days I will not eat but in order to stay alive, some food needs to be consumed. These will be limited to items such as sandwiches or cereal and only once a day at maximum. Liquids and any drinks have no effect on this test. I will still drink tea and will still occasionally buy a can of Coke or similar.
Other notes:
- I do smoke
- I do work full time
- I can't cook but do eat a worrying amount of take-away.
I also started a blog, just to get my progress down on paper. I also honestly believe no one will care but it's more fun with people pretending they're interested.
Wow...troll thread? You should eat nothing but celery while you're at it..

Your body's metabolism is too fast for its own good!
1 person says something stupid = most people are stupid?
you and OP would get along just fine I think
He's lazy and thinks losing weight is all about the food rather than his shifty lifestyle.

Better approach would be to cut ALL sugars/carbs from your diet and eat more protein! Since you're willing to not eat anyway you should simply try cutting the bad things from your diet.

This is the best part. Gotta get those essential cereals.
Oh yeah, don't do this. If you want to lose weight without changing anything but the frequency of your eating just eat less. Or do IF and only eat in a 6-8 hour window. Or only eat every 2nd day.
It worked for me but it was hard. I think I was very lucky it didn't bring any complications as I lost 40 libs in 2.5 months but I was depressed by the time it ended.
You can't simply "stop eating" Following a "Christian Bale diet" (1 apple + 1cup of coffee a day) is easier but the most important: keep yourself occupied. if you have time to think of food, you will.

This is stupid. You need carbs for your body and your brain to function. Where else are you gonna take that energy?

Don't starve OP.
My freshman year of uni I weighed 230 pounds. I wanted to be 180 by Christmas break. That's roughly 4ish months.
I watched what I ate, I counted my calories and drank LOTS of water. I was at 180 by the end of my exams and 160 by summer.
EDIT:
Oh and DO NOT look at the scale every day. Keep it to once a week. That first week I dropped 5 pounds and that's all the motivation I needed.
You will lose weight at first, but your body will go into 'starvation mode' and as soon as you start eating properly again (and I'm sure you will because that kind of diet cannot sustain you) you will gain it back again. Not to mention you will be damaging your body in more ways than you could imagine. I've been there, It's not worth it.
